Blanc de Blancs 2013

Pol Roger of Épernay bottles this Blanc de Blancs 2013 exclusively from Chardonnay from grands crus of the Côte des Blancs, in limited quantity. After six years in the cellar it shows a very fine mousse. On the nose, buttery pastry, meringue and white blossom meet lively freshness.

On the palate it is full and opulent, yet stays restrained. Citrus fruit and brioche are in balance, and the long finish recalls dried peach and hazelnut. Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a tulip glass or a white wine glass. With fish dishes such as sea bass or bream, it shows off its freshness and richness. It is ready to drink, but according to the merchant it can still be cellared for around ten years.
